Well, it's official! The first meeting of the Sunnyvale Library's new mystery book club will be Tuesday, June 8, at 7 pm, in the Library program room. We'll generally be meeting on the second Tuesday night of each month, either in the library Program Room or upstairs in the library's Fireplace Room.


Our title for June 8th will be the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson. The book is available in hardback, on CD, and in paperback from the library. Check back on this blog before our first meeting for some food for thought about the book.


Come one, come all. We can't wait to meet you!
